Reveal and Release

This weekend will be a mix of essential Asana  with a soft focus through the lens of the Kleshas—the 5 obstacles that each of us creates and sustains, but can learn to break through. We’ll dive into Deep Hips, Twisting for Life, Push and Pull, and The Enduring Mountain. Throughout we’ll consider the balancing act of desire and fear, and find what inner and outer support really feels like. This training counts as 10 hours toward your advanced yoga certification.

The Maha Bandhas: Support from Deep Within

A deep dive into the three primary Bandhas: Mula, Uddiyana, and Jalandhara. We will explore their physical foundations, breath integration, and energetic impact. This weekend will balance strong asana and pranayama practices with discussions on history, philosophy, and anatomy, to deepen our awareness and refine our application. This weekend is open to all who want to take their practice deeper. Yoga Teachers are especially encouraged to come as these practices are often misunderstood and their transmission can be tricky. This training counts as 16 hours toward your advanced yoga certification.

The Essential Arches: Keystones to Health and Healing

Join me on this 4-day journey through the body’s essential keystones and their accompanying diaphragms and Bandhas. A keystone is a central stone at the summit of an arch, which literally locks the whole together. In our bodies, there are several key areas that are the central principles or keys on which all else depends. Each keystone has a set of bases, which when balanced create dynamic stability from below, and ease and range of motion above. We will dive into the physical and energetic keystones of the body, developing awareness, release and support using all the elements of Yoga practice: asana and pranayama, philosophy and meditation. This training counts as 15 hours toward your advanced yoga certification.

Concentration to Spaciousness

Evolve your practice from the exacting eka-grate (one-pointed focus) to the depth of full integration that Yoga promises. This Retreat-like Workshop is designed for teachers and experienced students who are ready to fully sense the subtlety and specificity that comes from deepening internal awareness, and stay with the process of discerning and unwinding one’s Samskaras (ingrained habits). Experience all the limbs of yoga — breath and movement, skillful direction of attention, action and reaction, and meditation, woven together with the golden thread of classical philosophy. This training counts as 40 hours toward your advanced yoga certification.
